Curriculum Vitae:
Damien Cavanaugh (CV).docx

My research interests focus on socioemotional health, specifically looking at sexuality at the nexus of leisure. Particularly looking at couples/families and how leisure engagement impacts quality of life and the constraints they face in their recreation participation. I am also interested in recreation therapy practices that enhance/assist family leisure. I have been a certified therapeutic recreation specialist for 12 years.
